no, as a kid I was able to go anywhere I desired with a bike or skateboard; I had few boring summer days.

this is much safer/practical in suburban environments. do you really believe public transport, in SF, is as safe for a kid?

Kids are, quite frankly, much smarter and more capable than modern helicopter parents give them credit for.

BART is, quite frankly, much grimmer and less safe than you seem to give it credit for.

That doesn't matter anymore because although kids are probably as smart as they've ever been, everyone has a cellphone in their pocket and will rat the family out to CPS if the child exhibits independence.
